To be fair, Borders’ sales rack was the stuff of legend. I scored so many deals there. The bargain section at B&N never seemed to match up. But let’s not forget B&N’s got the better online presence nowadays, which does count for something.

No one's changing your mind because you're right! Borders encouraged loitering with books. Plus, their mystery section was top-notch. B&N feels more commercial and a bit sterile in comparison. Borders had character.

Borders had its charm, but it wasn't just the online strategy that did them in. Overexpansion, overstocking, and higher-than-average prices were all nails in that coffin. B&N smartly focused on sustainable growth. But yeah, Borders had a better atmosphere, won't argue there.

Their coffee alone was reason enough to mourn Borders! B&N’s café just doesn't cut it. And the music section in Borders was more curated, not like B&N’s mainstream-only stuff. Borders felt indie and cooler, no contest.

Lol, crying over spilt coffee? Borders is dead, love the one you're with, or just get a Kindle already and stop whining about stores from the stone age 😂

Borders was okay, but idk, I think you might be looking through rose-colored glasses. Comfy chairs? Only if you got there before they were all taken. And their rewards were good, but their prices weren’t any better than B&N. Plus, B&N survived, so don’t they get points for that?

100% with you on Borders. The atmosphere was just more inviting. And let's talk about those seasonal promotions they had, unbeatable! Honestly, B&N has never come close to giving me that 'hidden in the stacks' magical feeling Borders did. #Bordersmemories

Ah, Borders, good times... I seriously miss their selection of music and the vibe was just different, you know? B&N is all right I guess, not the same though. I used to spend hours just chilling in Borders with a good book. Their rewards program was def better too. Miss those days.
